[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 784903, member: 1372"] [B][/b] Piratecat, I disagree (we played like that since a long time). And I have to agree with Azlan that strength is much more important than dex in that case (since you reach the highest AC values for dex mod +1 and heavy armour plus shield). Dex is mostly used for ranged attacks and Reflex saves. But I have to add that we mostly play in the low level (<level10) and low point buy region (due to some fantastic bad rolling players with 4d6 drop lowest :D) I agree. About that baseball bat and hitting with all force... doing that with any weapon will probably break the weapon rather than the enemy. E.g. greatswords in Italian museums are weighing 1.5kg at a length of slightly above 1.5m. These weapons are fine if you have to fight against a shield wall with polearm wielding peasants in the second row, but they are very bad to hack with force through armour.
